The reducing agent is donating electrons and therefore becoming oxidised itself. In this scenario elemental zinc (Zn) is in a reduced state and is oxidised to become Zn2+, in doing so it donates electrons to Fe2+, thereby reducing it to elemental iron (Fe).
The elemental Zinc in solid state is therefore the reducing agent as it reduces Fe2+ to Fe(s).
Answer:
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus
Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force
Explanation:
According to the postulates of kinetic molecular theory:
1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.
2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.
When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.
If I am correct the answer would be iron and nickel.
